Let's make this happen


Well it is finally happening! Jared and I are headed to Norway in 3 days. We have talked about this trip for a couple of years and decided to put it off to save a little more money well now is the time. I booked our flights end of December and wow has the time flew by. I am now just so ready to go and tired of waiting. I am not however excited about the flight but a few sleeping pills will take care of that! I have put alot of time and effort in planning this vacation to make sure all goes smooth and am ready to reap the benefits of my hard work. Norway is 7 hours ahead of us so, it will take a few days to get used to the time change. We leave Fargo at 6:00am on Thursday May 15th and will not arrive in Oslo until 9:50am the next day their time. Neither Jared or I have been to Europe and luckily most people speak English so we will not have to worry about the language barrier. I am hoping to have the time each night to update and post some AMAZING pictures from our daily adventures. I will
post a few pics of what we are about to experience!! Cannot wait! Here is a little of our path plan.
